This autumn, the Tate pays tribute to Hans Holbein, arguably the first great British artist and the greatest painter who ever worked in this land.

The exhibition, which focusses on the work Holbein produced in England under the patronage of the Tudor court and for King Henry VIII, brings together 40 portrait and subject paintings as well as portrait drawings, decorative designs and prints - many of them remarkable loans from around the world. Below are some highlights from the show.
